The story of the day on which World War I, the war to end all wars, ended. Using military archives and public records, along with journals and diaries, the book will weave together the eleventh hour experiences of the famous, such as Lloyd George, President Woodrow Wilson, Field Marshall Haig and General Pershing. But more dominantly, it will deal with the ordinary men in the trenches, unsung and unremembered, the British Tommies, French Poilus, American Doughboys and German Feldgrau. Where, for example, was the Austrian corporal, Adolf Hitler, on that day? Four days before the War's end, with peace talks already underway, the beaten Germans propose an interim ceasefire to spare lives. However, the French Allied Commander, General Ferdinand Foch, refuses. Hostilities will not cease, Foch insists, before the appointed hour of the Armistice. Thus, even on the last day, the Allies are still launching full scale offenses and both sides bombard each other until the final minute of the agreed ceasefire, 11am, November 11, 1918. The last hours pulsate with tension as men in the trenches, airmen in the sky and sailors at sea hope to escape the melancholy distinction of being the last to die in the War.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the whole world sighed with relief. The city of London could turn on all the lights. The men along the Western Front could think about going home someday soon. Excited crowds could swell the streets across Europe. The most extensive war ever what we now call World War I had concluded. Earlier that morning in a forest in France, Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the supreme Allied commander, met with leading Germans to sign the armistice. After Foch s second all-nighter of the war, an agreement was reached at 5:12 a.m. Foch sent a telegram to Allied leaders: Hostilities will cease at 11 a.m. In this book, you ll learn the story of the armistice agreement itself: how the German leaders protested the harshness of the terms and how Foch agreed to a few concessions. But you ll also learn how the armistice affected the lives of world leaders and ordinary people on that fateful day. Civilians and politicians celebrated on the morning on November 11, but peace did not come soon enough for some. In the intervening hours between the signing of the armistice and 11 a.m., several thousand men died or were wounded in final assaults against the Germans. Amidst the collective relief was a note of sorrow. The conclusion of the war made everyone think over its course the massive destruction of city and countryside, and the staggering loss of life. The war was over but life would never be the same. -- (12/30/2017 12:00:00 AM)"

A seventeen-volume compilation of selected AEF records gathered by Army historians during the interwar years. This collection in no way represents an exhaustive record of the Army's months in France, but it is certainly worthy of serious consideration and thoughtful review by students of military history and strategy and will serve as a useful jumping off point for any earnest scholarship on the war. --from Foreword by William A Stofft.

The armistice signed in November 1918 signaled the end of World War I. It can be regarded as a turning point in the history of the 20th century. Why did Germany sign the armistice and agree to the harsh terms imposed by the Versailles Treaty? How did these agreements change the social and political structure of Europe? How do we remember those who fought and died in World War I? Armistice 1918 carefully examines these important questions and covers the consequences of World War I on a global scale: the Russian revolution, the rise of fascism, and economic hardship in Britain and Germany.

The challenges of post-war recovery from social and political reform to architectural design In the months and years immediately following the First World War, the many (European) countries that had formed its battleground were confronted with daunting challenges. These challenges varied according to the countries' earlier role and degree of involvement in the war but were without exception enormous. The contributors to this book analyse how this was not only a matter of rebuilding ravaged cities and destroyed infrastructure, but also of repairing people’s damaged bodies and upended daily lives, and rethinking and reforming societal, economic and political structures. These processes took place against the backdrop of mass mourning and remembrance, political violence and economic crisis. At the same time, the post-war tabula rasa offered many opportunities for innovation in various areas of society, from social and political reform to architectural design. The wide scope of post-war recovery and revival is reflected in the different sections of this book: rebuild, remember, repair, and reform. It offers insights into post-war revival in Western European countries such as Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, as well as into how their efforts were perceived outside of Europe, for instance in Argentina and the United States.
